Experienced Wichita Residential Construction Electricians
Residential Electrical Build Outs
Before the sheetrock goes up in your house, all of the electrical wires and hookups that will be inside the walls need to be installed. This process, in which each electrical appliance, outlet, and inlet will be installed in the walls and ceiling, is known as electrical rough in or electrical build out. After the sheetrock is installed, the electrician will return to install any necessary caps, outlet plates or switches. Your builder will contact us to do the new home build wiring, and we are also available for home owners who are renovating an existing property.
What’s Included in New Home Wiring?
The specifics of what is including with new home wiring will differ depending upon the individualized plan for the house. Generally, though, residential electrical new construction installation will include breaker box installation and electrical wiring for lighting, heaters, fans, hot water units, outlets, air-conditioning, home automation systems and more. Basically, any fixed appliance that requires electricity, as well as any electrical outlets, will have the necessary electrical wiring installed during construction. The electrician will run cables and wires to all switches, outlets, appliances and lighting fixtures throughout your home.
When Do I Need a Construction Electrician?
A licensed construction electrician is responsible for connecting electricity to a new home and must be done according to Wichita city code. If you’re renovating a home, electrical remodeling will cover moving or adding electrical outlets and light fixtures, adding wiring for new rooms and even upgrading your electrical panel if needed. If possible, having new home wiring done before the walls are sheetrocked is less costly than doing it after the fact. Graf Electric provides expert new construction electrical services in Wichita and the surrounding area.

FAQs
What is included in residential electrical new construction installation?
Residential electrical new construction installation includes everything needed to power your new home. This typically involves breaker box installation, electrical wiring for lighting, heating systems, fans, outlets, air conditioning, and other fixed appliances. Our electricians will also install the necessary wiring for home automation systems and ensure every electrical outlet, appliance, and lighting fixture is correctly wired during the build.
Why is electrical rough-in or build-out important in new construction?
Electrical rough-in (or build-out) is a critical phase in new home construction. It involves installing the electrical wires, outlets, and fixtures inside the walls before the sheetrock goes up. This confirms everything is in place and compliant with safety standards before the home’s interior finishes are added. Graf Electric will handle this process, ensuring that all wiring is correctly set up for lights, outlets, and appliances.
How early in the construction process should I schedule an electrician for my new home?
Ideally, you should schedule an electrician during the early stages of construction before the walls are sheetrocked.
